Abstract

Membrane fusion processes occur throughout the cell. Among those, exocytosis of secretory organelles is probably one of the fastest fusion events animal cells can achieve. Structural and functional studies have provided a conceptual framework and a starting point for our mechanistic understanding of how SNARE proteins may contribute to the final step in exocytosis.
